Ultimate Ears Wonderboom

It’s so puffy it looks like it’s about the burst, but that’s just because Logitech packed as much as they could into the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom. The compact, barrel-shaped speaker puts out surprisingly loud sound for 10 hours per charge but really distinguishes itself from other portable speakers (both by UE and other brands) by its rugged and waterproof shell. Hell, it even floats, so you’ll probably want to throw a couple in the pool — paired in stereo mode — come summer. It drops the auxiliary input, so 100% Bluetooth it is. [ learn more ]
